Disney World

Oh wow! I just remembered. About a month ago I threw up in a car. It was after I had eaten at Red Robin, like 15 minutes after and my husband and I were shopping and I just looked at him and said, "I'm sick. I'm going out to the car." He continued shopping.

I sat out in the parking lot throwing up and throwing up and throwing up in a little nylon bag that leaked. Wow. I can't believe I forgot that. It was horrible. I think it was food poisoning.

May have just been Red Robin food...lol, I've never ate anything at that place that I liked. My wife and son love the place so I sometimes get overruled and we have to go there.

It hit me like 15 minutes of eating there. It was horrifying. And it was horrifying that I was sitting out in the parking lot throwing up while people are walking by.

Your like 10 or 14 hours behind us here, so I was on SKMB about 4:45pm Friday, so it would have been between 2 and six in the morning in America depending where you lived. I usually get on here when everybody is sound asleep. Tak.

1) If we brought back the US military draft, should we include women? I've worked with some ladies I'd go thru a door with in a second and not think twice about it. Include the ladies, the military makes everyone stronger, regardless of gender.

2) What’s your favorite Simon & Garfunkel song? Not exactly my style of music.

3) What things would you save, in one trip, if your house/apartment were on fire (besides people or pets)? My computer and my firearms...that's two things I guess. The firearms would take a while to haul out, but they have a lot of sentimental value.

4) What’s your favorite Disney movie? Pete's Dragon. Most people probably too young to remember this one, it was the second or third movie I ever saw in an indoor theater. 1977-ish?

5) What was the cheesiest pick-up line you’ve used or heard used on you? I was never confident enough to try and "pick up" a girl. I had two relationships back in my dating days where the woman and I were "friends" before we became involved. Both of these relationships ended up as total and complete heart breaking train wrecks. If my wife hadn't been the type who was very good at picking up on the fact I was interested in her, I most likely would not have been married for twenty years now.

6) Describe the color yellow to somebody who's blind. The color of the mustard you put on your french fried potaters.....

7) What's your favorite midnight snack? Ritz Crackers.

8) Have you ever thrown up in a car... details ? No, I've always managed to make it outside or roll the window down. Now I have had people throw up in MY car several times.

9) Where did you go on your first airplane ride? Houston, TX.

10) What would you want to be written on your tombstone if you had to put an epitaph on it? "There are other worlds than these."

DRAT! I want to change my movie to Pete's Dragon! I had a strange thing for the part where Elliot( I think) baked an apple for Pete using fire

Neesy -did you know there is a book that Paul wrote using the lyrics from the song At The Zoo. Alas, I had a copy, but lent it to a friend, never to be seen again.

No I had never heard this - it must a rare find. I just like that song as it seems so cheerful and happy (sort of silly but very good).

Cecilia would be a second runner up.
